Recipe: Monkey Bread

Warm little pieces of dough… covered in sugar and cinnamon… all stuck together with a buttery caramel sauce … just waiting for you to sneak in the kitchen and pull one of those pieces right off… after all… you just have to taste test the recipe… make sure it came out alright.... right???

Hmmm… mighty good… maybe just one more…. no one will notice… oh what the hell… I’ll just pull one off this other side.. to even things off a bit… hmmm… well…. I did have two off the other side….. so I’d better grab another… and well the bread does have four sides…. sound familiar?

Now who would have thought something called Monkey Bread would be so ooey and gooey and soooo irresistible… and addictive! … well I sure wouldn’t…. in fact … I play a game called Baking Life that has had Monkey Bread in the recipe list for quite some time and I never even wanted to make it in “pretend land”… then… I went over to the dark side and found out just what Monkey Bread is…

Ohhh… thank you… Pillsbury… like my hips needed another excuse not to get into my jeans…

TIPS

This recipe works with Pillsburry Grands Biscuits or the regular size little biscuits… 2 cans of the Grands or 3 cans of the little ones…. your choice.

Either Homestyle or Flaky Biscuits work… Homestyle will be easier to cut into quarters.. the dough of the Flaky ones wants to constantly separate… no big deal.. just a little added annoyance.

I did spray the Bundt pan with butter flavored cooking oil spray.. not sure it really is needed.. somehow I think the stick and a half of butter will take care of any possible sticking that might occur… but to be safe.. spray the pan.

I thought I was going to run out of the sugar and cinnamon mixture… so I made a bit more… didn’t need to… trust the recipe.

The original recipe had walnuts added in… pecans work better with brown sugar, cinnamon and caramel.. just sayin’.

Actually… nuts are really not needed… the bread is perfect without them.

Plan to make two… one will be gone in a flash.

Do not leave the bread unattended after taking it out of the oven.. for some odd reason it tends to disappear.

Better yet… you should not be left unattended with the bread in arm’s reach…
